Software’s for Windows 7 to edit the file date

Asked By Gerardo Thomass 290 points N/A Posted on - 02/02/2013

Hi Experts,

Do we have any Registry Editor or any similar kind of software’s for Windows 7 to edit the file date, which has to be shown with the filename?

I didn’t want to add another column to Windows Explorer; I know that. I want that the basic file should be evidence in the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure and should have three date fields:

FILETIME ftCreationTime;

FILETIME ftLastAccessTime;

FILETIME ftLastWriteTime;

If anyone does a modification to the old file, I would anticipate at least the Access Time or maybe the Last Write time, to be changed. But after I rename a file, neither date should be changed when I execute it in VC++ in debug mode, do a FindFirstFile on the directory, and it has to point at a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure in the watch window.

I'm using NTFS for Windows 7. Any help would be helpful.

Thanks for the help.
